Rolla Bear

Here is our baby girl rolling and having a good time!

Magpie with a lollipop!

Magdalene Maria Jacobs is getting so big!   Today I was looking at her little stomach and notice it's starting to come out more.  She's getting a little belly!!  We had our first Applebee's Lunch time with the ladies:  Great Grandma Mary, Grandma Marian, and normally Robin would be with us, but she had to work today.  She was a good little girl and allowed her mommy to eat some food. 

Just in case anyone is wondering what size she's wearing now, well she will move into 6 - 9 month onesies really soon.  She's still taking some 0-3 month pants, but overall she's in 3-6 months.  Sometimes she only gets to wear an outfit once, because she has so many clothes!   I love figuring out what to put on her everyday.  We don't have anywhere to go, but we still have fun picking out an outfit. 

Magdalene has  been sleeping through the nights sometimes.  She hasn't done it consistently yet.  I hope she does sometime soon!  We're really looking forward to Thanksgiving!  An event to dress up for!  I do miss spending the holidays with my family though....

I hope to see you all very soon.  You are always welcomed in Iowa.   Love you and miss you.  You are always in my thoughts and prayers. 

P.S.  I highly recommend a book I just finished reading.  It's called For the Love of Mothers.  I'll write about it in the next entry. 

Magdalene's Birthday!

Hi family and friends!  I thought you would like to see this video, and I hope to upload more soon!  Love and miss you!

And It Is Better!

Hello family and friends!

Yes, 2010 is much better!  Jordan and I are expecting our first child in September!!!  Jordan finally had the chance to feel the baby kick for the first time last Saturday.  I will never forget the look on his face.  He placed his hand on my belly, and suddenly, KICK!  His eyes got really big and he smiled.  Priceless.  I will have to update the next post with the most current picture of my growing belly, but for now I will post a picture of the baby at six months (one month ago).  Love you all. 

2009 was amazing, but 2010 just might be better!

Hello readers....excuse I mean Brenda.  I thought you would enjoy the above picture.  Jane Austen and mocha!  Today is a great and hold day.  I learned a great deal during today's sermon on the Holy Family.  I will describe in more detail later. 

Two Months Later....as Mrs. Jacobs!

I love Jordan!  It has been a little over two months since I said "I will" to my duty of state in life.  I said "I will" to be his wife and the future mother of his children.  I said "I will" to a life of sacrifice and showing my love to God.   Within a year I have done more for God than I have the past five or six years of my life.  You might be wondering why I keep typing "I will" instead of "I do".  In a traditional Latin Mass, these are the vows that I took.  "I do" doesn't even describe what you promise to God and your husband.  "I will" signifies a commitment that can never be broken.  "I will" implies that through good and bad times, I will keep trying.  "I will" means I will do what's best for my husband and family.  My life as a single lady about a year ago was to help myself get to Heaven.  I am now also responsible for my husband's soul.  "I will" need to keep this in my mind when my faults start to get the better of me.  I will update more later with wedding pictures and such.
